Just yesterday Samsung had teased that they would be making some Exynos-related announcements. One of the rumors had suggested that Samsung would finally be bringing LTE connectivity to their Exynos lineup, and sure enough they did with the Samsung ModAP. Previously Samsung had to rely on Qualcomm’s offerings to enable LTE on their phones, but now with the Exynos ModAP, it looks like Samsung’s reliance on Qualcomm could be lessened. Now unlike some of Samsung’s Exynos 5 chipsets which were of the octa-core variety, the Exynos ModAP will be of the quad-core variety. While some users might not be able to notice the difference, on paper it does seem like it would be less powerful.
